  • Since 2008, tamper-resistant outlets are a requirement for new builds and refurbishments. These outlets are equipped with spring-loaded cover plates. While they look like regular outlets, the spring-loaded plate only opens when equal pressure is exerted on both ends.

  • Child-proof outlets are user-friendly for adults acquainted with their operation. They require no special skills or strength to use them. To activate the outlet, apply equal pressure on both sides to open the cover, which then operates like a regular socket.

Objects Stuck in Outlets

Children's curiosity may lead them to experiment with electrical outlets, which can be hazardous. It can be difficult to keep all items away from outlets, but here are a few things children typically try to insert into sockets:

  • Jewelry
  • Staples
  • Toys
  • Keys
  • Paperclips 
  • Tools
  • Knives
  • Nail files
  • Hairpins

  • Our main goal is to boost child safety by installing secure sockets. If cost is a concern, these outlets are quite economical, each costing only a few dollars. This minor yet budget-friendly upgrade brings your home up to the latest safety standards while significantly improving your family's safety. We're ready to assist if your home lacks child-safe outlets or requires replacements. Without child-proof outlets, your family is exposed to injuries, including:

    Electrical Burns

    Electrical outlet-related injuries are primarily burns, making up 95% of such incidents. Children's tender skin offers little resistance to electric current or heat, escalating the risk of severe injuries.

    Electrical Shocks

    On average, seven kids get injured daily from shocks due to inserting objects into power outlets. Child-proof outlets significantly lower the risk of electric shock in your home.

    Severe Injuries

    Electrical injuries can cause severe or fatal injuries. It's not worth taking such risks, particularly when youngsters are involved.
